All the Comic-Con News You Need to Hear (a Disney Princess on Once!) and Stuff You Need to See (Veronica Mars Movie Teaser!)

Perhaps if I were a major comic book nerd, I'd be salty about the way regular old TV has infiltrated Comic-Con over the years, but as it stands, I'm a major TV nerd who doesn't mind a little superhero dressing, so I consider the event to be perfectly calibrated. I think you'll agree after enjoying these pics, vids, and bits of gossip out of the weekend's panels.

The HIMYM panel (in which producers promised you'll see all of your favorite guest stars return in the final season) kicked off with this brilliant short, starring the grown-up-and-pissed versions of the children Mosby:__

We're getting a new Batman—and he's getting a new friend. In 2015, there'll be a Batman + Superman blockbuster (cue nerds' heads exploding). Henry Cavill will keep man-of-steeling it as Superman, but there's no word yet on who will play Batman. Stay tuned for us photoshopping 40,000 hot actors with Henry Cavill sometime in the near future. Just doing our part.

The Vampire Diaries is going to college! So fun. This should bring "that broody dude on campus" to a new level.

Breaking Bad pumped up fans for the finish with an expertly cut, adrenaline-triggering mash-up of all the action so far. This got me so excited, I almost believed that I am the one who knocks. (I'm totally not.)

And their show Once Upon a Time teased a new girl in town—none other than Ariel of The Little Mermaid. Yup, a clip that producers brought along showed flashes of a redheaded mermaid. This is obviously the best thing to ever come out of ABC and Disney's merger.
